This sermon encourages us to receive God’s forgiveness fully today! To move on from carrying around our shame and guilt of not being good enough. Instead, laying down these thoughts at the cross fully accepting the freedom Jesus has won for us and living in this truth.
It also encourages us to fully forgive ourselves. To no longer dwell on the sinful things we have done in our lives that evoke emotions of guilt and shame. God’s righteous wrath for these things was satisfied on the cross where Jesus Christ took it upon himself. To continue living in guilt and self-punishment is to reject the Gospel that proclaims Christians are free from the consequences.
Once we have received this life transforming good news we are not to sit down and rest on our laurels. We are instead instructed and tasked to share & proclaim this good news in all areas of our lives. For how can we not share this good news of a loving Lord & Saviour who forgives all of our sin!
